Black Text Color

The light blue text color is too low-contrast on white. For many people, including myself, it is tiresome to use and decreases comprehensibility and reading speed.

Text color should be multiple choice.

>1 DashaLee: Where are you seeing this? I have no light blue text anywhere. Body text is black, some headings and menus are dark blue. Could it be some browser settings overriding LT default?

>2 SandraArdnas: The breadcrumb menu at the top of Talk pages does seem a lighter blue, to me... I could see people who might see colors a little differently struggle with this.

>1 DashaLee: I doubt we would add (more) styling options to the site in this way, but we are hoping to add a dark mode in the near future. Would that help?

Also, if it helps, you can use the "Change Style" option in the footer menu below to make text larger/bolder.
